You're right - I am happiest when have more structure in my outfits, which is why I struggled for the longest time with the BF silhouette.</p> <p>And as most of you have pointed out, the lighter sandal is a gap in my spring/summer wardrobe for sure and probably more of a need.</p> <p>Polyester doesn't really bother me at all and I'm one of the few that doesn't get overly warm or sweaty in it so that's not really an issue for me.</p> <p>But needs outweigh wants and white sandals are more important. So is sticking to my budget. So decision made: white sandal search continues and I will enjoy these beautiful kimonos on others.</p> <p>Thanks for bringing me back to reality ladies - this is why I need you all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-consider-this#post-944934 Thu, 30 May 2013 17:18:52 +0000 rachylou 944934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see you in a Kimono jacket, Shannon, but I see you more in white sandals. I think I hold to the old-fashioned idea that shoes are the most important thing.</p> <p>But then I'm situated in time and place such that I remember when people did not have them. Which is odd when you think about it.</p> <p> Also, I feel like you're the happiest when you have more structure in your outfits.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-consider-this#post-944933 Thu, 30 May 2013 17:17:24 +0000 Glory 944933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should try it Shannon. I have the white one and the blue silk which I recvd earlier in the week. It is poly but is&nbsp;super airy and it is the perfect jacket for Wpg when you need something light. It will be lovely for patios, AC etc.&nbsp;<br />And although I am in love with the white, for myself I am undecided because it feels like quite a statement and I am quite shy - if that makes any sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-consider-this#post-944927 Thu, 30 May 2013 17:04:44 +0000 Suz 944927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's super lightweight and easy. I'd wear it on all but our hottest, most humid days. We&nbsp;get into the mid 30s with very high humidity sometimes and for those days, probably not. But&nbsp;I'd wear it&nbsp; basically any time when the temp / humidity combo was lower than 30s-feeling -like-40s, any time&nbsp;there was a breeze, or any time there was some air conditioning.&nbsp;</p> <p>But it's tough to compare to sandals, Shannon. Footwear always gets my vote in that if you find the right pair of sandals, you will wear and love them for 2 to 3 more seasons. And if you are lacking light shoes, that is an important gap.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, selfishly, I&nbsp;am hoping you won't give up the sandal search because I need your help, LOL!!&nbsp;</p> <p>But I want you to have both items!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-consider-this#post-944922 Thu, 30 May 2013 16:56:22 +0000 merwoman 944922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think it's gorgeous...and have ordered it and a pair of silver pointy toed chunky heel shoes from Zara. Should be arriving today or tomorrow. I hope it will work with a light grey sheath&nbsp;dress I'm intending to wear for an outdoor/indoor wedding in July. I have tried it on in-store (my size not available) and found it extremely light weight - I can picture it as well&nbsp;with a pair of light denim clams and tshirt. &nbsp;Something to cover my shoulders and arms&nbsp;from the sun, but won't make me roast. I have nothing comparable in my wardrobe and thought this would be a cooler (in every sense of the word) option than jacket/blazer.<br />Enough about me! I know you could rock it - and I would like to your stylings for inspiration!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-consider-this#post-944918 Thu, 30 May 2013 16:41:05 +0000 texstyle 944918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit has a good point - polyester would ruin it for me for a summer item. But everyone has their threshold. I'm not sure I love&nbsp;the white kimono for you so much Shannon. I mean it's a "fun" piece but is it a truly functional piece for you for the summer?&nbsp; Do you have other summer weight jackets?</p> <p>I'd probably go for the more practical light sandals (but for me I don't know that I'd choose white). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-consider-this#post-944915 Thu, 30 May 2013 16:23:35 +0000 Anonymous 944915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really pretty Shannon, but it's polyester, would you be wearing it when it is hot out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-consider-this#post-944912 Thu, 30 May 2013 16:17:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 944912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have total lust and "wants" for the white kimono Suz is considering. I think it could work both with my work capsule and with my casual capsule for the next few months, especially after seeing how versatile it is in Suz's post.</p> <p>I have the Eileen Fisher silver metallic linen slouchy tee on the way to me and Jones New York dressier white jeans (two sizes) to try when I get home today. Hopefully these will work as they will completely round out my clothing options for summer.</p> <p>I'm also on the hunt for white sandals - they are a semi-need. I can get by without them but I don't have a completely light pair of sandals and am finding the darker ones I have don't necessarily work with everything.</p> <p>So my question is - would the kimono flush out even more outfit options for me in the two capsules mentioned above to warrant the purchase?&nbsp;&nbsp;I do have less in my casual capsule than work capsule and always find when summer comes around and I'm off work more, that I feel somewhat restrained in my choices for things like hanging out on a patio having drinks, going to the various small town festivals that our family enjoys going to, that sort of thing. Plus we plan on attending a week long folk music festival (very hippie/bohemian kind of crowd) in July and this kimono could work for that.</p> <p>Or are the white sandals more important? I'm not sure budget wise I can do both the kimono and the sandals.&nbsp;</p> <p>Help clear my head! </p>
